Got my ferti-lily boiling ready for tonight lol🤣🤣

mummatara · 07/10/2022 19:45

@FfayeN thanks I never thought of it like that but does make a lot of sense hopefully it means it might get stuff passing soon 🤞🏼

LuckyMoonstone · 07/10/2022 19:43

@FfayeN I’m ok thanks chick just enjoying the weekend, I’m not really stressed about next blood test results. If hcg is coming down that’s great but if not then I’ve made peace with no TTC for 12 weeks, this is my favourite time of year so that’ll get me through it :)

lovenaps · 07/10/2022 19:01

@RaliaMusca I just saw that you're bleeding. Really really hoping all is going to be okay, we are all wishing the best for you ❤💐

@Mariabombia OPTK is super dark today (still), it's positive for a 3rd day in a row now and super dark for a 2nd day in a row... I probably have not ovulated yet so I am probably not in the TWW... Really hoping we managed to try again tonight/tomorrow morning as last time we tried was on Wednesday!

FfayeN · 07/10/2022 18:05

@mummatara sorry to hear it's not passed yet, take it easy lovely. It it's a big thing for your body to go through and it could be getting lighter as the big bits get to your cervix. I'm so sorry it's awful to describe. Mine was similar to a period until I had an internal scan and then the next day it happened, I think the scanner must have knocked my body into gear. 🥺 hoping you're through this ordeal soon.

@RaliaMusca so sorry to hear you're going through another MC 😢

@LuckyMoonstone how are you doing hun?

@Luna57 wishing you all and only good news for Sunday, I'm sure the CM is nothing to worry about 🥰

@mummatara mine at 9 weeks was very light to start start, then heavy and painful with everything very visible :( and then medium to light. Lasted about a week. I have to say mine was nothing like the 'heavy period' epu predicted.
Hope you're doing okay, glad you managed to get a better rest last night ♥️

@RaliaMusca hope you're okay, it won't be because of that but I know exactly how you feel. Let us know how you get on with your bloods this eve.

@lovenaps yeah I get that, I would have defo used them to see when I ovulate too but it seems to stress me out for some odd reason so I stopped using them. Hahaaa you can have too much of a good thing can't you! Are you in your tww now then?

@ChloeN I think you are supposed to ovulate the day after your surge so if you dtd the day after a dark positive it's not necessarily too late to catch! How did you find the ferti lily? Too messy for me lol!

@Luna57 oh bless you, only 2 days to go now lovely.
Do you actually think there's a crazy lady list lol? The thought has actually occurred to me.

With my first pregnancy I had period like pains nearly every day until I miscarried. This one not many period type pains but I'm getting like stabbing/shooting pains instead , hoping it's equally normal 😬 it happens in each side and the middle of my pelvic area. Anyone had similar ? Xx

mummatara · 07/10/2022 17:15

My bleeding seems to be getting lighter this afternoon 🤷🏼‍♀️ I def haven't passed it yet so odd

Luna57 · 07/10/2022 16:30

@RaliaMusca i haven’t looked at anything yo redecorate just 😂 we had a leak in the living room so waiting for builders to come out from insurance company so I’ll start mentally redecorating in my head til they’ve sorted everything.

i know exactly what you mean when you blame yourself for a bleed etc. the day before I started getting mc cramps I went to an outdoor water park (lots of swimming, slides and upper body strength needed) I felt a pain on my right side low down the moment I started swimming dh could see I was pained but I didn’t let on.

@calimc83 it seems I get a pain and then I’ll have a bit when I wipe I’m really hoping it’s stretching and implanting. I think if I phoned epu they still would say I’m 5 weeks so wouldn’t do anything. Maybe put me on the crazy lady list for phoning 3 times in nearly 3 weeks 😂 today has been the first where I’ve been feeling nauseous more easily and of course anything im snacking on to keep it at bay im having to share with ds so there’s nothing left in the house 😂

RaliaMusca · 07/10/2022 15:37

Thanks girls. I conceived literally two weeks after surgical management of my previous miscarriage. Maybe my body wasn't ready for this one yet.
I'll treat this miscarriage as a new cycle and a new chance to make this seemingly elusive second child of mine.
Hopefully I won't dwell on it too long.

HalWin2221 · 07/10/2022 15:25

@RaliaMusca Really hope you’re ok, but please don’t blame yourself. You know deep down the hoovering would not of caused that. Sending you a virtual hug!

TheBirdintheCave · 07/10/2022 15:05

@RaliaMusca Sorry to hear that you're bleeding :(

TheBirdintheCave · 07/10/2022 15:03

@FfayeN Your chart looks good! :D Looks like you timed dtd well too.

Funnily enough I would have guessed that mine was the day before as well but FF decided otherwise 🤷🏻‍♀️

FfayeN · 07/10/2022 13:59

@TheBirdintheCave @bunnykins123 took the words right out of my mouth! We struggled this cycle to DTD more despite me being really relaxed and quite pro before O. I've attached my chart below just for reference.
I drank loads of wine and had loads of cheese Saturday night...mad what it does to your temperature! It's strange FF placed your O there, I'd have gone with the day before, or can you have a temp dip the day before O?
Either way you have it well covered 😂

@bunnykins123 oh what?! Could your new medication have led to this...@Luna57 oh gosh lovely, try not to stress too much. Have u had any more bleeding? Could u call the EPU and see if they will scan u a bit sooner? Xx

RaliaMusca · 07/10/2022 12:45

@mummatara yes, it'll be the second blood test in 48 hours. I'm not holding out much hope anymore now.
Hope your son gets back into a good sleep groove soon. I know how excruciatingly exhausting it is.
Hope you're ok too with your cramping and bleeding. You sound like a very strong person. The things we have to go through to make other humans... Hopefully it'll all be worth it for us one day

mummatara · 07/10/2022 12:30

@bunnykins123 unfortunately I don't think it's passed yet my cramps have still just been quite mild really. Lol my DH took LO into the spare room last night so I could get some rest and he complained this morning how restless he is in bed and how much he basically kicks and rolls onto you 😂 I don't know how he's never noticed it when he's in bed with us 🤦🏼‍♀️

@HalWin2221 thank you ❤️ I'm a grumpy cow but ok

@RaliaMusca he's only 19 months so just too little to understand but I'll def keep the chart in mind for future. He's prob going through some horrible developmental thing that's going to last weeks on end 😂 sorry about your bleeding ☹️ hopefully all will be ok 🤞🏼 is this your second hcg draw?

@Margo34 thanks lovely I have had very light bleeding for 2 days and slightly heavier the last 3 days. Cramps haven't been awful but I am expecting them to get worse. There hasn't been many clots and def no products yet so hopefully it will happen soon. I wasn't sure as mine is just a sac if some of it would be reabsorbed but I suppose not all of it would be as it grew until at least 10 weeks. Why it's never like the movies I don't know 🙄 lol hopefully my body is kind to me somethings got to go my way surely 🤞🏼

@FfayeN thanks lovely

@Bobshhh welcome sorry you're here. If you can def try and relax about it it's easier said than done when you want it so much. I'm a poas addict as are many of us but I'm sure I read somewhere it helps reduce cortisol which isn't good for trying to conceive. I think we all need weekly relaxation massages 🙊

Bobshhh · 07/10/2022 12:04

Thanks for the welcome!

Yep conceived the first month of trying so thought oh this is easy, we've nailed this! To be fair life has been a bit stressful since then, I started a new job and we've moved house into a project so hopefully when we feel a bit more chilled it will happen (I know that's incredibly naive!)

RaliaMusca · 07/10/2022 12:03

I'm bleeding again, this time accompanied with cramps. Looks like this one's not a sticky bean either.
I did some hoovering immediately before the cramping started and now I'm blaming myself for not being more careful.
I have another HCG blood test scheduled this evening and a scan next week but it's looking not very promising anymore now.

TheBirdintheCave · 07/10/2022 11:16

@Luna57 I'm so hopeful this is your sticky one :D You've got this far. Only two days to go now. You can do it

@bunnykins123 Thanks :D We actually had a lot of fun this cycle and were much more relaxed about it. We seemed to time it perfectly too :D Not that that seems to matter 😂

bunnykins123 · 07/10/2022 10:31

@Luna57 I really wouldn't worry about blood streaked cm. I suspect it'll be from everything stretching but totally get the fear. When's your scan?

@calimc83 my body has decided to O early this cycle so my big plans have gone down the pan 🙄 has anyone else on here got peaks on CD10/11?! This seems way too early! I'm usually a cd14 kinda gal!

@TheBirdintheCave big respect for your attempt this month! That's great bding coverage 👏 colds suck when ttc - that, and heatwaves massively screw my chart!

@ChickenT2b me 👋 it's so annoying as I literally go from 0 - 100 in the space of an evening. Usually I can anticipate this as I usually O around cd14 but this month has caught me by surprise so that's sucky 🙄

Luna57 · 07/10/2022 10:24

@TheBirdintheCave its on Sunday. I feel sick at the thought of it.

@calimc83 i went to a lot of scans on my own with ds too because it was last year and the pandemic and whatnot. I’ve had some blood streaked cm yesterday and this morning and slight pain it’s not enough for a normal person to worry over but of course I’m shitting my pants 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 07/10/2022 09:57

@LuckyMoonstone I woke up with a fever due to my toddler giving me a cold 😂 I made a note in the notes page so I remember what it was for future cycles.
